Face Detection with OpenCV

Haar cascades versus a DNN face detector, measured head to head

1-2 weeks build

Overview

A compact study of two face detectors in OpenCV: the classic Viola-Jones Haar cascade and the SSD-based DNN model that ships with OpenCV. Both run on images, video and webcam, and the kit measures detection rate, false positives and speed under side profiles, low light and small faces, then presents the trade-offs in plots.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Haar cascade detector with tunable scale and neighbours
  • 02OpenCV DNN face detector on the same inputs
  • 03Webcam, video and image modes from one script
  • 04Tests on profile, low-light and small-face cases
  • 05Speed and detection comparison plotted in the report

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Haar detector

    Cascade loading and parameter tuning.

  2. 02

    DNN detector

    Caffe SSD model with confidence filtering.

  3. 03

    Input modes

    Image, video file and webcam handling.

  4. 04

    Test set

    Curated hard cases for fair comparison.

  5. 05

    Comparison

    Timing and detection counts with charts.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain Haar features and the integral image
  • Compare classical and deep detectors with evidence
  • Demo both detectors on your webcam
